From the Kernel:
Reviving an old computer is like restoring a classic car: There’s a thrill from bringing the ancient into the modern world. So it was with my first “real” computer, my Mac Plus, when I decided to bring it forward three decades and introduce it to the modern Web.
Yes, in a certain sense, my Mac has already been on the Internet, first via BBSes and later via Lynx through a dial-up shell sessions. (There’s nothing quite like erotic literature at 2400 bps when you’re 13 years old.) What it never did was run a TCP/IP stack of its own. It was always just a dumb terminal on the ’net, never a full-fledged member.
How hard could it be to right that wrong?
The original article was posted in late 2013, but this republishing qualifies it for timeliness, so that makes it okay.

takes pride in recruiting his own troll
The fact that you didn't see that for the joke it was means either my humor is off (quite possible) or your brain is off.

Or both.
Or maybe the entire thread was intended as teasing?
Sorta feeding back and forth the same food you started to plate with the assumption of "all about you"?
How do you like it?
Anyway, time to bring this thread to a closure: if you so please, have your final word on this thread (I promise to read it if it happens) and let's drop it, shall we? Ta
